I found out about LW in a french video and then i just remembered the site name, Two or three months later I came visit the site and i read some post and i found it interesting so after that I came back and discover that the site was power by Reddit code and I check the reddit source code on github and then I discover it was a fsf(free software foundation) approved license so I decide to create an account plus I already was on reddit.

well for the reading i am only at the page number 23 (I just started) but so far:

why true, book 1 section 1 sub-section 3

Feeling Rational, book 1 section 1 sub-section 2

And for the help thanks I will try later.

It's interesting that you took such a note from the fact that LW is powered by reddit, why was that so interesting?

No, not at all. It's a version of "asdf" which is the first thing you write if you start to write nonsense on your keyboard, and it doesn't have any explicit symbolism.

Because i try to avoid non-free software and sites but I make some exceptions for sites like google and etc because there are no good free alternative.

But if there where I will be the first to switch.

NOTE: free as in freedom

That's very interesting code of honour!

Do you have anything in mind on how you'd like to contribute on LW or do you have such plans?

I think I will be contributing to the discussion section and maybe when I get enough karma I will see what I can post in the main section.

I understand the concept of libre and non-libre software, but what are "non-free websites"?

Comment author: mrexpresso 25 July 2015 12:21:11AM *  2 points [-]

non-free websites are websites that use non-free code (non-free license or are Proprietary)

but my philosophy is that if there not any free alternative then I will use the site anyway.

But any good free alternative I will be the first to switch.
